Verbena bonariensis seedlings (Hatfield AL10)
Get your orders in! Probably these are too small right now, but I have essentially unlimited seedlings of this ever-popular plant at this time of year - if only there is motivation to pot them up and nurture them. Highly recommended, these been my most popular giveaway on here in the past. The majority will have to end up on the compost heap, but how many can we save to enjoy their flowers? Good in containers and quick to grow, these baby plants will establish quickly and flower for you this summer. Leave the flower heads next autumn and they will seed for you too if you're lucky. Verbena bonariensis is a beautiful hardy perennial with purple flowers on tall wiry stems over a long flowering season. Comes back from the base stronger every year and will self seed around if it's happy. Flowers beloved of bees and butterflies. Watch goldfinches try to balance on the seed heads next winter. It wants sharp drainage and full sun to be truly happy, but I have sticky clay and a fair amount of shade and it does fine.

Tradescantia/purple heart housplant (Hatfield AL10)
One for the inside gardeners. Tradescantia has other names including "purple hearts" (probably because of the pretty purple back to the leaves) and "wandering dude" because it grows on long trailing stems. They are perennial houseplants, very easy to grow and root very easily from cuttings. They have interesting variegated leaves, almost sparkly in the sun and contrasting purple backs. I think they cope quite well with relatively low light and for me they don't get any pests. Theses individual plants are from stems rooted in compost earlier this spring. People grow them as houseplants. You could probably put them outside in the summer, but they would definitely not survive the winter, so you would take them back inside in autumn. Or just keep them inside all year round. I also have a few copies of a cute tiny-leaved version, which if anything is even easier to propagate. Similar pretty backs to the leaves. (Not as many to spare and no photo, sorry.) I may limit to one (each) per person if there is demand, but honestly you don't need more than one - if you want more, just chop off a bit and put it in a jar of water.

Pair of Everlast Training gloves (for boxing etc) which were used about twice before they split (see photos). I was too late to return them to Sports Direct so before I dispose of them I wondered if anyone who has the ability to repair them might want to have a go and saving them from landfill? I don't have the right sewing gear to fix them but someone out there might have :)

Toothbrush - battery operated (Goffs Oak EN7)
Hello all. I have a battery operated toothbrush to give away. It does work but can't turn it off unless I take the battery out. I used it for a few trips and it was great. No need to plug in. It still has a spare new head in the packet. If somebody wants to tinker around with it and fix the on-off button, it could be saved from landfill. Thanks for reading.

gratitude (Hatfield AL10)
I am giving away gratitude, not the pots in the picture! I have some spare gratitude because a mystery benefactor left me the plant pots in the picture. I'm sure it was one of my freecycling friends on here, but, for shame, I can't work out who it was - to thank you directly. (And actually I had another mystery donation earlier this year which I'm also grateful for.) I am grateful because plants reproduce themselves, but pots do not. So please message if you would like to collect some gratitude. The nice thing about gratitude is it can be delivered virtually for your convenience, which I will be pleased to do!
